Rationale

Migrated from Ducklings Continuum (Epoch 71)

Domain: governance

Effects: 0 downstream variables affected

Immediate effects: 0

Divergence score: 109.7758

Constitutional basis: Federal Accessible Canada Act (2019), CRTC mandate, provincial digital strategies

Fiscal cost estimate: 1.5

Details

Epoch: 71

Domain: governance

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $1.50B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$5.39B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$3.40B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via innovation_index
  • +$0.96B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via innovation_index
  • +$0.43B → education_spending (Education Spending) via innovation_index
  • +$0.37B → transfers_to_persons (Major Transfers to Persons) via unemployment_rate

Divergence after: 109.776

Variable changes

  • innovation_index: {"new": 125.0, "old": 118.88}

Proposed policy move

Targets innovation_index.

Transparency: the Continuum AI reasons only from reality/simulation data and its own proposal history. It cannot see human or student strategy. Humans may observe the AI; the reverse is blocked.
